A brilliant book to inspire teachers, parents, pupils and the wider public at a time when we urgently need more people to enter – and stay in – the teaching profession. Being a ‘truly great teacher’ is about so much more than the mechanical delivery of results and ticking boxes. It requires a complex range of skills, joy and, above all, belief and interest in young people and how they learn. Truly Great Secondary Teachers reminds us that if we want to have a really equitable and excellent education system, attracting and developing the very best people, into what should be a life-enhancing career, must be a priority.
